Widow and mom of 9 shocked dad involved in crash

A recently widowed mother of nine children whose husband died in a transport trailer collision on Highway 400 last month was shaken to learn her father was involved in a fatal collision Friday morning.

Nikiyah Mulak-Dunn's father was injured and taken to hospital by ambulance following a collision that has closed Highway 11 north in both directions. He is expected to be released.

Ontario Provincial Police have yet to identify the deceased.

The highway is closed in both directions between Marten River and New Liskeard, according to Ontario Provincial Police.

Collision Investigators are collecting evidence and currently working on the scene.

According to OPP, the clean-up of vehicles and load debris will take time.

The highway is expected to remain closed for the next few hours.

This comes about five weeks after Mulak-Dunn's family were told their loved one, Benjamin Dunn, had died in a fiery 400 Highway crash on October 31.

Dunn is one of three people who died in the 14-vehicle late-evening pileup that involved at least two fuel tankers, spilled thousands of litres of fuel onto Highway 400.
